Does anyone know a nice way to automatically blur /censor number plates /license plates from jpegs preferably in javascript!? Or do all of you do this by hand? Couldn't figure one out yet...

  • not sure what to think about this question. Have you looked at other generic find and blur pattern libraries. to find a library that exclusivity does license plates seems a bit far fetched. – bitoiu Aug 18 '14 at 13:13

  • @BobBrown yes you're right... – Marc Giersch Aug 19 '14 at 13:08
  • @bitoiu: i just thought this would be a common problem. which ones would you use (eg. how would you solve this problem?) ? – Marc Giersch Aug 19 '14 at 13:15

The hard part is going to be reliably recognizing the area of the image that is the number plate. Although there are image processing libraries for JavaScript, I'm not sure they're suitable to what you want to do.

Unless you have a zillion of these, blur them by hand; it'll be less work.
